Did it need a repot? Give it a week and let it adjust. Sometimes repotting can make the plant struggle for a bit.

#### Nicki replied on 2025-05-28

Thank you so much! The soil it was in was soaking wet (it was the all plant potting soil) and I was worried about root rot, so I changed it to a chunky soil mix

#### Nicki replied on 2025-05-28

If it doesn’t work should I change the soil back after a week?

#### Temple Es’zura replied on 2025-05-28

It should work, I wouldn’t change her potting too much, it will put her into shock and make it harder to recover. Let her rest, soak in some indirect light, a light watering…she doesn’t look that bad, she is probably just in shock. Do you have other Swiss cheese plants?

#### Nicki replied on 2025-05-28

No this is my first one! I have a monstera deliciosa who is thriving well. I was so sad to come home and find my plant like that 😭

#### Temple Es’zura replied on 2025-05-28

What is her soil like, and out of curiosity is she by any sort of vent or heater? It’s hard to know without a brighter light and to feel her soil, but throwing ideas out there.
